The Good and The Forbidden

My Biologique Recherche Facial Experience at Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta

August 26, 2018 Leave a Comment

I’m writing this post just a couple of days after the treatment (despite my period cramps) because I don’t want to lose the euphoria of the exquisite experience of Biologique Recherche facial treatment over at Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta.

If you don’t know yet, Biologique Recherche is famously known in the beauty world for their exclusive treatments. It’s so exclusive that the products are only sold at a very few handfuls of spas across the globe. Not just that, they’re actually reluctant to sell the products without having a consultation beforehand, ensuring us (as clients) can get the best match for our skin and achieve maximum results.

Biologique Recherche is also synonymous with its Lotion P50 (and its variants) for being the top authority on exfoliating acid toner. I believe, Caroline Hirons is the one responsible for making this product incredibly popular.

With the brand’s existence along with their treatment services (face, body, and hair) almost a year ago, it definitely adds another excitement to the ever-growing local beauty scene. So, without further adieu, let’s begin.

Kanebo Chrono Beauty – Japanese Skincare at its best

June 5, 2018 Leave a Comment

Last year, I got the chance to try out Kanebo’s newest line of skincare called Chrono Beauty. This line speaks to my heart as someone who appreciates the importance of maintaining a good, solid skincare routine. Because after all, healthy skin requires a long-term commitment. And of course, I’m partial to Japanese skincare.

Just a heads up, I absolutely adore this line and I’m really relieved that I finally can write down my thoughts about the line and the products I’ve tried. Some of the products have been an integral part of my routine, including prepping my skin for our big day last November.

Let’s begin!

Hatomugi Skin Conditioner – For All Seasons

January 4, 2018 Comments : 15

This is yet another product I procrastinated to make a review of because I’ve featured it often on my Instagram and I figured people would get it by now: I FREAKING LOVE THIS STUFF.

Alas, sending that message wasn’t enough. After continuous inquiries over the past few years, it’s only right that I give the proper spotlight of this product in The Fruit Compote. That way, I don’t have to keep repeating myself and I can just shove the link. LOL! Kidding! *but serious*

Meet my skin’s best friend, Imju Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner.

Acne and Blemish Busters – Spot Treatment Options

August 1, 2017 Comments : 7

One of two most asked questions I receive often is how to get rid of acne. The other being how to fade the spots they leave behind. Acne is a bitch to begin with. It’s most people’s biggest nemesis in terms of skin problem. I don’t think there’s anyone out there who wants to have any. It doesn’t matter whether a person only have one or the whole skin is covered with them. Dealing with acne is a tough work, even continuous to many.

It’s not just about skincare, because it can only do so much. It comes down greatly to our genes, lifestyle and environment. There are potent treatments like Roaccutane for severe cases and I have seen some gruesome side effects from it – this I would only recommend if you have problem that’s rooted internally. Otherwise, sticking to topical treatment and taking great care of our health are the best bet.

This post though, will cover the topical treatment that I have tried, specifically for spot treating.

Odacité Bl+C – Handy Little Helper

September 19, 2016 Comments : 2

After Pa+G, Odacité Bl + C (Black Cumin + Cajeput) is my second pick from its Serum Concentrate line. I specifically wanted this because God knows I suffer breakout once in a while and I need to be prepared.

It was a little bit tricky at first but I found the leeway into it.

Odacité Pa+G Packs A Punch!

June 14, 2016 Comments : 4

If you’ve been following me for some time, you’d know that I’m all about customizing my skincare routine. It gives me room and a lot of freedom to deal with specific issues depending on my skin condition that changes from time to time. I’m also a firm believer that there is no such thing as a one miracle, do-it-all product. No matter how perfect a product is, it needs others to create one harmonious unity. Hence, the customized routine.

Odacité has a line called Serum Concentrate where each of the serums contains highly concentrated dose of actives and formulated to target a specific skin issue. With numerous ways in incorporating it into the routine, this line excites me A LOT!

With 18 serums to choose from, it can be quite a task. But being the girl who struggles with hyperpigmentation, naturally, I opt for Odacité Pa+G as my first (out of three).

Tailor The Skin with Bravura Acid Peels

May 17, 2016 Comments : 39

I adore chemical exfoliation. My first encounter with acid was First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads, leading to my holy grail Sunday Riley Good Genes, have changed my life and the way I do my skincare routine. I don’t think I could ever live without it now.

Dabbling in acids hasn’t always been the easiest affair. It can get confusing at times. My personal rule has always been and will always be “do not over exfoliate”. With that in mind, I know that it’s best to keep it simple and tactical.

Speaking of simplicity, the products I’m about to review are the ones that give me exactly that. Straightforward and on pointe.

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

Double Cleanse at night, a must!
Sunscreen at daytime, always – after moisturizer.

Exfoliate regularly, as necessary, and don’t overdo it.
Don’t forget to use a Hydrating Toner after Exfoliating Acid Toner to prevent dryness and irritation.

Opt for calming and soothing products more than anything else. Pick gentle cleansers. Aim for hydration and moisture. Maintain the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and balanced moisturization are key to achieving a healthy skin, even if your skin is oily.

Always be gentle on your skin.
